Original artwork description:
Fourth painting in the Melancholy series, Ophelia takes up the iconography of Shakespeare's character in Hamlet. Scene particularly appreciated by the Romantics or the Pre-Raphaelites Ophelia loses her mind after Hamlet pretends to no longer love her.
Nicolas Maureau, representing Ophélie with a lily, quotes the poem Ophélia by Rimbaud:
Sur l’onde calme et noire où dorment les étoiles
La blanche Ophélia flotte comme un grand lys,
Flotte très lentement, couchée en ses longs voiles…
– On entend dans les bois lointains des hallalis.
